Creative Rights + Brand Notice

The games offered through LEDDIE GAMES are specific LaPret World versions developed as complete authored products.

ORIGINAL LAPRET WORLD VERSIONS

They may use standard playing cards, familiar categories of play, longstanding table vocabulary, or broadly recognized game actions where appropriate. Those familiar building blocks do not define the LaPret World version.

The LaPret World version is expressed through its particular combination of written rules, sequencing, scoring, progression, terminology, special systems, game modes, player choices, artwork, logos, graphic presentation, cards, software, interface, audiovisual elements, digital behavior, player-facing copy, and other original creative elements.

A familiar deck does not make two games the same. A familiar action does not make two rule systems the same. A familiar starting point does not erase what has been independently created around it.

RIGHTS IN ORIGINAL CREATIVE WORK

LaPret World reserves its rights in the protectable elements of its original versions, including original written expression, artwork, graphics, logos, software, audiovisual material, website content, digital assets, original content, distinctive branding, and other original authorship.

The applicable original copyrights in LaPret World creative works remain with LaPret World™ / Larry “LaPret” Pretlow II, except where particular rights are expressly transferred in writing.

ORIGINAL IP • EXPRESS RESERVATION • NO WAIVER

LaPret World expressly claims and reserves all rights available under applicable copyright, trademark, trade dress, contract, unfair-competition, and other law in the protectable original elements of each LEDDIE GAMES title. Publication, demonstration, beta testing, access, play, or compatibility with standard playing cards, traditional game materials, or familiar/public-domain concepts does not constitute abandonment, dedication to the public domain, waiver, estoppel, consent to copying, or an implied license.

No waiver, permission, or license concerning protected LaPret World or LEDDIE GAMES material is effective merely because material is displayed, explained for play, made accessible online, tested publicly, or used in gameplay. Any grant of rights must be expressly authorized in writing by the applicable rights holder.

No claim is made to third-party rights or to unprotectable or public-domain elements standing alone. The rights reservation applies to protectable original expression and authorship, protectable selection or arrangement, branding, artwork, graphics, software, audiovisual presentation, written rules expression, fictional characters and worlds, digital assets, player-facing copy, and other original protectable material.

PUBLISHING + COMMERCIAL RIGHTS

LEDDIE GAMES, LLC publishes, distributes, operates, markets, sells, licenses, supports, and commercially develops the games under authority granted by LaPret World.

Individual game credits may additionally recognize Edward C. Mason and other contributors according to their actual role in a particular title.

INDEPENDENT GAME IDENTITIES

Each LEDDIE GAMES title should be understood according to its own official rules and branded identity.

References to ordinary playing cards, traditional card terminology, or broadly familiar forms of gameplay describe components or gameplay context only. They do not indicate sponsorship, authorization, ownership, affiliation, or endorsement by any unrelated game publisher, casino operator, entertainment company, or third-party brand.
